In short, as long as children were born every day, the Nyx Guild would never go out of business. “Boys, the kind-hearted people who gathered these children for us will make us a lot of money!” The sinister man was Cain, a powerful senior member of the Nyx Guild. He brought along seven members to complete the mission this time, and everyone had a target of five children. They had to capture 40 children to please their superiors. Cain was an elite at completing missions, always performing every task well and quickly. Hence, he was quite confident about this mission too. “According to our findings, that guy brought back at least a hundred children. That’s enough to cover our targets for two months!” “Spot on. We can even take a few children for ourselves and watch as our strength increases!” Everyone smiled brightly. They could already imagine the day they advanced. Cain smiled smugly. He shared the same thought. Based on his calculations, other than completing the t
Aslan and the others were adults, so it was not appropriate for them to take a bath in public. “Philip, didn’t you say that we only need to do it once a month? It hasn't been a month since the last time!" Aslan grimaced as if he was very afraid of this terrifying potion. Philip smiled at their horror and said, “What do you know? Your strength will improve after every bath. The more you do it, the less pain you’ll feel. Once your strength and physique have been upgraded to the highest level, it’ll be no different from taking a normal bath!” Philip explained in detail, but everyone heard the underlying meaning. “I see. No wonder Mila doesn't feel any pain when taking a bath. That’s because her strength and physique have reached the highest level. What a freak!” Aslan grimaced. He thought that he was strong enough, but he was just a loser in comparison. “Don't be discouraged. Mila just reached the finish line one step ahead of you. As long as you continue taking the potion b
“What do you mean by this?” Cain was a little angry when he saw no reaction from anyone. He felt disrespected and decided to teach them a good lesson. Cain made a hand gesture. The sky turned dark, and the wind blew violently. The surrounding buildings swayed under the biting wind, looking like they would collapse at any time. “Listen up. If you don’t hand them over, I’ll kill all of you!” Black shadows of children appeared in front of everyone. They were the innocent children who had been sacrificed. These children were full of resentment. They were enough to wipe out Philip and the others. “Such strong resentment!” Philip frowned, shocked that the other party practiced such an evil technique. “The Nyx Guild is an evil cult. In comparison, even the Venom Guild has to give way to them!” Delia explained to Philip. They could hardly stand under this intense resentment. The shadows of children lunged at them with ear-piercing screams. Philip took out his sword an
The members of the Nyx Guild were angry when they realized they had met a tough opponent this time. “Damn it, these people are not our comrades from another evil cult at all. That guy’s technique can oppress us!” Cain roared angrily. He knew he would only end up dead if he wasted any more time here. He had to escape! Before Philip’s second move landed, he grabbed the person next to him and shoved him toward Philip. Philip slashed out and rendered that person into a pile of ashes. “Stop him!” Cain used his people to stop Philip’s attack. He took out a charm from his pocket and activated it with his blood. The next second, he disappeared in front of everyone. Before the members of the Nyx Guild realized what was going on, Philip had defeated them. Philip was not surprised to see Cain leaving in a panic. Killing them was too easy for him. His goal was not to kill these minions. Instead, he wanted to attract all the people from this guild and catch them in one fel
The best way to avoid future retaliation was to get rid of everyone. Philip's thinking was always so simple and crude. In his opinion, it was not too difficult to deal with them, but he had to watch out for their underhanded tricks. “I feel so happy here that I don’t want to return to my guild anymore,” Delia grumbled with anticipation. Philip smiled helplessly. Delia had to return to her guild. She was the young leader of the Smith Guild. How could Philip keep this talented girl here for no reason? With the protection of Philip and the others, the children did not pay any attention to what just happened. They soaked in the potion baths and gradually relaxed. To Philip's surprise, the twin siblings were the strongest among them. They did not feel much pain, and their potion turned clear the fastest. Philip was very surprised by their talents and decided to groom them properly. Simply based on their good personalities alone, Philip would never treat them badly. … Mea
Shawn noticed everyone’s dissatisfaction and finally decided to use the most extreme method to solve this problem. “Don't worry, everyone. I’ll contact someone from the reclusive faction to avenge us. Leave this to me. I’ll handle it perfectly,” Shawn said smugly, confident that he could take care of Philip. “Since you have a way to resolve it, we’ll leave it to you. I hope you can restore the guild's reputation as soon as possible and stop those arrogant guys from getting their way,” Joseph said loftily, very unhappy with Shawn. He would take this opportunity to sow discord between other elders and the leader. After dealing with Shawn, his status would rise quickly. Taking the position of guild leader would not be a problem. Shawn nodded. He knew exactly what Joseph was thinking. “Don’t worry, Great Elder Joseph, I won't let you down,” Shawn said through gritted teeth. He turned around and returned to his room without wasting any more time with these people. He had to
The other party spoke nonchalantly without regarding Philip as a difficult opponent. Shawn told him everything he knew about Philip, and the black figure vanished after that. As the energy fluctuations dissipated into thin air, Shawn relaxed. The few minutes of conversation were enough to fill him with fear. He wondered how the other party became so powerful. Since he had received the promise from the reclusive faction, he believed he could make a comeback with the Oncidium Guild soon. Shawn felt a little nervous as he stared at the crack that just appeared on the jade token. He recalled how he met the other party. The Oncidium Guild was not very powerful back then and was in a state of stagnation. Just when he thought there was no hope left, he saw an old man in plain clothes walking past his door. The old man said that he had a good impression of Shawn and wanted to give him a technique, which could help him take over other factions that were about to close down.
Philip did not ask Montel to make a prediction for him, but the senior members of the Zucker family were doing it for him at this time. Their existence was to serve the descendants of the Clarke family. Other than completing some daily duties, their most important task was to make predictions for Philip and pay attention to every movement in his life. Therefore, the Zucker family had to be very strong to prevent any backlash. “Patriarch, based on my prediction, I think something is wrong.” An old man with gray hair frowned. He was someone with stronger fortune-telling abilities in the Zucker family. The others also looked at their prediction results with troubled expressions. “There's something wrong with this. This prediction points to someone from a reclusive family or faction. Are those old freaks making a comeback?” The Zucker family was puzzled and nervous. The secular practice world usually did not interact with the reclusive world. The reclusive faction was ver
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
